The A-Team (2010)

The A-Team Synopsis

The A-Team follows the exciting and daring exploits of a colorful team of former Special Forces soldiers who were set up for a crime they did not commit. Going “rogue,” they utilize their unique talents to try and clear their names and find the true culprit. Liam Neeson (Taken), Bradley Cooper (The Hangover), mixed martial arts champ Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, and District 9 sensation Sharlto Copley, are The A-Team.

Joe Carnahan's The A-Team didn't do well enough critically or financially to warrant the development of a sequel - but that doesn't mean that the filmmakers behind the first movie didn't have some ideas for a follow-up. As it turns out, one of those ideas was to totally revamp the titular group's classic wheels, and now we know exactly what it would have looked like:

Thanks to movies like Smokin Aces and The A-Team, Joe Carnahan's career took kind of a weird turn over the last six years, but with The Grey he's finally back to his roots. The gritty survivalist drama is the best movie that he's done in years, dating back to the film that really launched his career: 2002's Narc.

What can we learn from a summer with so few superhero movies, so many flops and very little that will be fondly remembered by the time the air gets cool? Believe it or not, there are a few trends to be found

I'm seeing The A-Team tonight and hoping against hope that it will be the kind of ridiculous escapist fun that this summer has sorely lacked so far. Unfortunately there's already someone around to rain on my parade, and it's Mr. T.

Summer’s coming and when it kicks off with Iron Man 2 this May, there’s no looking back. The exciting thing about this summer movie season is that, unlike the last few years, it’s relatively free of sequels and shockingly

They A-Team may specialize in the ridiculous, but there’s nothing ridiculous about their movie’s first ever poster. Released this morning along with the trailer it’s a pretty simple shove the casts' faces

It's rare to see an action movie that's both so insane and packed full of characters who so enjoy it being insane. I never actually thought I'd fall for this movie, but at some point-- I think it was when Liam Neeson

Ever since the trailer for The Losers came online last month, people have been trying to figure out exactly where it differs from The A-Team. Both are about special forces betrayed by their own government, both have their tough action stars, and both have their eye candy (Saldana vs. Biel, pick a side).

But given his storied history with projects staying in development forever, Carnahan has something of a back-up plan in the other two projects. If not [The Grey], Killing Pablo's always going to be up there for me,"

You’ve seen the badass first trailer, but now’s your chance to get up and close and personal with the new members of The A-Team, in a series of images just released by Fox. Liam Neeson doesn’t look right with white hair

The first trailer for the film has leaked online, by Vimeo user Clive Owen (probably not the actor) and though it isn't the greatest quality, it is what it is (meaning unofficial). In terms of first reactions, it does come across as somewhat disappointing

While I am glad to hear that they are keeping some of the most classic details from the TV series, I am a touch disappointed that, of the four main characters, Copley gets the least amount of screen time. From an advertising standpoint it makes sense, as B.A. Baracus is by far the most recognizable character and Neeson and Cooper are

Are there A-Team purists still out there terrified of how this might go, or is this image enough to change your mind? Rampage still isn't wearing any gold chains, but otherwise this looks pretty solid to me

Have you had your doubts that UFC fighter Quinton "Rampage" Jackson is cut out to play B.A. Baracus in the A-Team movie, stepping into the shoes that Mr. T made immortal? Well, rest assured that all it has taken is a haircut to get Jackson in perfect shape

I find myself somehow surprised that The A-Team is actually filming, given how long we were hearing rumors about who would direct it and who had been cast, and how recently names like Sharlto Copley and Jessica Biel were thrown into the mix

We have our first ever look at the brand new A-Team and, unfortunately, B.A. does not have a Mohawk. Instead he has a hat, under which he’s bald. But he still has the beard and I suppose Mohawks are kind of 80s anyway

The trades say that Biel will play the ex-girlfriend of Bradley Cooper's character, Faceman, while Liam Neeson and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson remain as the other members of the elite squad. None of this casting is official yet, of course
